I don't know what this is trying to mean: "On the inductive view of probabilistic inference, B is amplified to imply that A is more probably true. This would would mean the logical consequences of A which are not also logical consequences of B should be more probable given B."

Edit: there was random other stuff here. Ignore it, I'm confused about the above.
